We have
been very busy clearing out all those many things we aren’t taking to Costa
Rica. We had accumulated oh soooo much
stuff! The money we earned from our
Moving Sales and Barn Sale will help pay for our move to CR. I can’t tell you how good it feels to have
empty closets and a basement without tons of stuff it in. We need to have one more Barn Sale but right
now our efforts are on getting the basement and garages up to snuff for
potential buyers.
We listed
the house two days ago and are anxious to sell.
The first floor and upstairs are near picture perfect but a corner in
the basement and the 2 garages still need attention. Plus John has to install a new kitchen
range! The oven has not been dependable
and can’t be fixed, they can’t get parts.
So we had to buy a new range for the new owners. Rats!
View the following
video to know more about where we are moving to in Costa Rica. It will also help you understand why we would
make such a drastic change in where we live.
Our residency
applications have been filed and now we have to wait about a year to get our
Cedula, our official certificate stating we are Costa Rican residents and not
just tourists. This is not the same as
Costa Rican citizens; we will only be official residents. It was an arduous endeavor, mostly because it
was hard to open a bank account which we needed to have to apply. Since we aren’t collecting either Social
Security yet nor have a pension, a bank account was necessary to prove we can
take care of ourselves. It only took
from early July to late September to get the bank to take our money and produce
a letter for immigration.
Ground
has been broken for the community center at Serenity Gardens. Can’t wait to see it completed, the
renderings look so inviting with several pools, community building and
gazebos.
Here are
some different pictures from our visits to CR.

I just love Toucans! They look so unreal!
